Message from the Dean to the Class of l939 S the Class of 1939 enters the portals of the profession of medicine the whole world is in a chaotic condition. The practice of medicine may be changed entirely by some form of socialized medicine and international complications may required most recent graduates to enter military service in the army or navy. One thing is certain, namely, the great demand for general practitioners with an intimate knowledge of Homeopathy will in- sure each graduate a successful practice. A comprehensive medical education is a continuous process and it is hoped that each member of the Class of 1939 will study conscientiously throughout his entire professional career. The splendid faculty of The Hahnemann Medical College has endeavored to give each member of this Class the basic knowledge necessary to give efficient professional service and it is the obvious duty of eachtgraduate to represent ably his pro- fessional Alma Mater. In its long and honorable existence The Hahnemann Medical College has trained a very large number of outstanding physicians and it is expected that each member of the Class of l939 will appreciate fully his valuable heritage.

Class of l939 While Men have lVit to read and lfV'iZl to know, The Door of Leamihg is cm Open Book. Within a few months, you will have the opportunity of ap- plying the knowledge accumulated by many hours of training and study demanded of you by the medical profession, that should go hand in hand with the important qualifications of sympathy, thoughtful service and unselfishness. You will find when you draw upon such cultural background and liberal arts education that you have acquired in your pre- medical years, your road will be much easier. This background coupled with your medical training and knowledge, should be the means of developing a position of trust, goodwill and firm friendships, in those communities of activity selected by you. A personal and humane interest in your patients will bring about a better spiritual insight into the necessities of the sick, and will tend to broaden you in the practice of medicine. Make constant use of your homeopathic training, for with it you have a great advantage over others in the medical profession. Do not lose sight of the fact that the most important thing you must keep ever before you, is the ethics of your profession, and not how much money you can earn. Provost and Executive Vice President.
